I did not have to forward any ports for this unit. However, I did have to open ports in my firewall, however if your router supports UPNP, enable that and it should work fine. The two ports that UPNP opened for the DVR on my system are ports: 6036 and 85. This system is fairly user-friendly, and q-see provides great support and instructions.

Yes, In order to view the cameras remotely on a computer, smart phone and tablet - the port forwarding rules must be created on the router connected to the modem.

I am still learning and I did not set mine up for that but you can view these in a number of ways with lots of different software.I am using ISPY freeware and you can specify a youtube channel I think from there. also works with VLC media player. just set up the ip and pull it up.also Airvision comes with it for monitoring as well.

I was unable to access any of the data remotely on the device itself. I was, however, able to install it directly on my server and remote in with RDP and VNC protocols And still use the software. What the company calls their "tech support" was a joke, and said that you cannot have an active network security in place e.g. IDS/IPS or a firewall. Although I think their IT was simply trying to pass the issue over as my problem, I believe it was just faulty equipment or operating system both times. You should never have to insecure your network, especially when client information is critical. I would highly recommend Lanthem's line, as it simply works, is easy to configure, and can even be exported to booking software like QuickBooks. It is a little more pricy, but well worth the quality. Hope this helps.

I have worried about the same. There is no known way, that I am aware of, to set up a standard garage door opener (Chamberlain, Sears, etc.) to not have a remote open it. The system is not smart enough to tell differences between remotes. Bottom line is that you will need to hide your remote. That's my experience and if someone else has figured out a way using a standard system, I would be happy to know it.

You can setup multiple dvr's on the same network. Viewing them remotely might be an issue if you aren't Tech savvy. Each device will need a static IP address or you might be able to use one static in your router and port forward from there. The other option you have is dynamic DNS which Q-See offers for free. I currently use the dynamic DNS but I have trouble viewing remotely after a few days until I reboot the DVR.

These cameras work with the AARIS modems Comcast provides. If you intend to use the live view feature from a remote location, you might have to ask them to configure their modem for "bridge" mode. This will allow you to define the port forwarding characteristics. Without this change, Comcast was not able to support owner defined port setup. The camera is not usually a problem, the service can be. This a a great camera for the very modest price. The features that allow the camera to detect motion and transfer images to a storage device do not depend on port forwarding and should work well using any modem. Both the Terndnet and Foscam cameras require JAVA for some setup functions and for live view. Please visit the Web Enabled Remote Monitoring service (WERMS) at http://werms.com to learn more about how useful this camera can be. Good luck.

No, you just need internet service. The remote viewing is not good. It's a small pic image and you can't manipulate it in any way. You don't get a clear image. And it goes off. But, the Logitech WiLife cameras are great. You can also Google Logitech WiLife Remote Viewing to find more information on this.

I am looking at Martin Smith's Answer and that really sums it up. You should have a port as he says. I would go for it. I am pretty sure you have the port.

My IR repeater is set up with a DirecTV client or auxiliary box, not the main DVR. It works well. My recollection is that the directions talk about placement of the emitter on a device's IR eye being somewhat adjustable, as in directly on it, off to the right or left a bit and some other fine adjustments. All 6 of me devices I set up with this product worked on the first try. Maybe just good luck, certainly not technical skill on my part!

All our cameras are plug and play . The difference is that you don't need to configure any DDNS , TCP/IP .. for the remote viewing on PC, Smartphone . Just download our free app "Anyscene" , then enter the camera's UID and login password , then tap to view the camera's live at anywhere--------anytime.

I have setup port forwarding for many different virtual servers. I use the Foscam cameras and the port forwarding for them works perfectly. I cant see that the Panasonic cameras would be any different. I just use static ip addresses for each of the cameras and then forward the appropriate port for each camera and it works great. Even the DYNDNS works great on these as well. Hope this helps.

Yes, absolutely! Here is what I did. (NOTE: I updated the firmware to yoics, but I understand this does not matter.) Set up your IP Video 9100a so that it is using a port other than 80...8135, or anything like that. For internal access (within your own network): note the IP address of your IP Video 9100A. Open the IP Cam Viewer App Select "Manage Cameras" Select + for a new camera, or select the failed attempt at adding a camera and then click the edit icon. Make=AVIOSYS Model=AVIOSYS 9000/9100 Series HOST/Ip=&lt;your IP you noted earlier&gt; HTTP PORT=8135 or whatever you set. Enter your user and password you have set up for the unit. (I think if you did not set one up, just put something here) Click on the test button. If it works, then press Save. For access outside of your network: Go to your router, and configure the firewall (applications, Pinholes, or DMZ settings) depends on the router..use Google for info. you want the firewall to let the port you configured on the IP Video be directed to the IP address of the IP Video. Now, you need a Dynamic DNS configuration for your site...(Google dynamic DNS) You can test your dynDNS settings by using your browser (Laptop, not the android) to go to http://YOUR.DYNAMIC.ADDRESS:8135 (YOUR.DYNAMIC.ADDRESS is whatever you set it up as..."bill.isa-geek.org" or whatever. 8135 is the port you set up in the IP Video and in your router.) Once you have verified that you DynDNS works, and that your port forwarding works... Go back to the IP CAM VIEWER app and select the camera you set up for internal access and edit it. change the HOST/IP to YOUR.DYNAMIC.ADDRESS and leave the port the same. If you have four cameras attached to the IP Video 9100A, then you will see a single camera view that will switch to each camera every 5 seconds or so. Sorry, I have not found a way to view each separately. There should be a way with yoics, but there is not a whole lot of support. hope this helped... Rick

To make your DVR accessible from outside of your local network, you have to "forward" ports 80, 100 and 9000 through your router to your DVR's IP address. I'm not a techie person by any means but here's the instructions for setting up remote access: http://qsee.custhelp.com/ci/fattach/get/111582/1359762082/redirect/1/filename/QS%20Remote%20Monitoring%20v3-1_web.pdf There's also a Q-see smartphone app for i-phone and android which isn't very reliable but easy to set up. I have to alternate between using the LAN and WAN ip addresses to see it though.

It can be difficult if you don't know much about your network settings. I've found Hikvision is one the easier ones to set up. So come back and ask if you have questions while installing. -Victor

If you have internet and WiFi, you at least have a modem and a wireless access point, unless you live in a community that provides WiFi to the residents. For ANY camera system, if you want to be able to watch the video remotely, you need a router that can be configured for port forwarding. That kind of configuration is not rocket science, but requires some basic networking knowledge. If you don't know the meaning of terms like "IP address", "subnet mask", "NAT" and "port forwarding" I strongly suggest to look for someone that can do the work for you.

I finally figured out how to make this type of thing work with this router. There are actually two different settings you need to make port forwarding work. First you need to to set up the ports you want open under the NAT feature of the router, (Specify which external port goes to which internal IP address/port). You ALSO need to go under the Firewall Settings and set up a rule to allow traffic on the same ports you setup in the NAT section of the TP-Link configuration. (Something like: allow traffic from any IP address to specific port, during any time of day etc.) Doing this allowed me to get my ip network cameras set up, and more importantly XBOX Live now works perfectly.
